An arrow pointing into a folder, similar to this. Sidesteps the tech issue altogether.

I was sitting at a stop sign, waiting to turn right, and watched a horrible car accident happen right in front of me. A small car had pulled out into the intersection just before I pulled up to the stop. It slowed down, in the middle of the road, maybe it stalled, I don’t know. I looked to the left and saw a pickup truck coming around the curve, going too fast, straight toward the car. The truck hit the small car so hard that it launched into the air and rolled, landing on its roof. A couple got out of the small car, apparently uninjured. I read in the news the next day that the truck driver died.

I’d had a cell phone for less than a year at that point, this was a long time ago. I called 911, and by the time I was done with the call, traffic had backed up behind the cars, and people were out surrounding both cars. So, I just continued on home.

“Surface area, Jerry!”

I’m an old man browsing this on LibreWolf on a Linux Mint desktop. If I can do it, anyone can.

Having said that, running across a FOSS app that only runs on Windows that I want to run, has me thinking I need to rebuild and dual boot Win 10 IOT. Frustrating. I just learned that while installing Linux next to Windows works, because of course it does, installing Windows next to Linux does not. Because, again, of course, Windows is an asshole. So, that means I’d need to nuke Linux, install Windows, then reinstall Linux. And, that seems like… a lot. I might still do it, though.

EDIT: The app I want to run needs access to my nvidia card. So a VM won’t work, I already tried it.

So, “virtue” signaling? That’s my only guess.

That’s North Canary Island. It’s not on many maps because it formed recently from a submerged volcano. Maybe you remember hearing about that a few years ago?

Any chance this could install through the Linux Mint Software Manager, for auto updates?

Thank you. Works well. I’m much happier with the interface I used for over 30 years in Photoshop, it’s helpful to have that emulated somewhat in GIMP.

I also tracked down how to set the scroll wheel to zoom without the need for the Ctrl key, which was another annoyance. I’ve tried before to discover this, but failed. Maybe I was looking at the official documentation, which could use some work. Anyway, here’s how to get the scroll wheel to zoom without the Ctrl key:

Fentanyl Fold

Research has not yet pinpointed what exactly causes the fenty fold, as fentanyl use is not known to directly affect the spine. Instead, it’s becoming clear that it is a neuromuscular side effect of synthetic opioids like fentanyl. Studies from the Journal of Applied Physiology and the Harm Reduction Journal highlighted similar findings that fentanyl use can lead to severe and widespread muscle rigidity, particularly in the trunk muscles, which restricts respiration and affects posture and mobility.

1. Try to get the temperature just right, it’s still too hot when I get in.
2. Stand under the water for a couple of minutes to get my bearings, and contemplate my life choices.
3. Rub bar of soap vigorously between legs and under arms, hitting chest, arms, and back suggestively.
4. Repeat step 2.
5. Wash face, neck, and ears with wash cloth.
6. Wash hair. If it’s short, use bar of soap. If it’s long, use shampoo.
7. Shave, using bar of soap.
8. Step 2, again.

~15 minutes to here, depending on how I’m feeling about myself.

9. Get out and dry off with the towel that is only used for drying off after a shower, but hasn’t been washed in at least a month.
10. Comb hair, brush teeth, swab ears, and put on antiperspirant.

Stremio

At a glance, it looks like it requires signing up with their service, which means they can track everything I do. No, thanks. I’ll stick with Jellyfin.

There’s only one reason, money.

This is akin to the nature vs. nurture debate–that is, how much of one’s personality is due to nature or to the people who raised them and the environment they grew up in? As the article I linked states, it far messier than the simple title implies.

Kids are not born as identical blank slates, they come straight into the world with their own set of personality traits that are essentially “hard wired”.

So, the answer is, you do the best you can, and hope for the best. There are no guarantees that raising your kid a certain way will result in a “good” kid. And, “good” kids can come from shitty upbringings.

I have two sisters and a brother, we were all raised by the same parents in the same house, together. Our parents loved us and did their best to raise us, which was pretty damn good. However, we are all as different from each other as we could be. In the past I’ve described us as the four corners of a world map–which, when the corners come together, make a globe.

Yes, but there is no guarantee this will work.

We were told that the teflon coating is “inert”, implying it’s harmless. But, now we have microplastics in every cell in our body, of which, teflon is one. I’m not sure that chemically inert equals harmless.

Cast iron is great once you learn to cook with it. Food does stick sometimes, even in a “seasoned” pan. But, it’s not a big deal. Also, you can clean and polish it with power tools, if you need to. It’s virtually indestructible.

Induction stoves? You WILL break the glass, and the glass is expensive to replace. If I got electric, I’d go with an old-school coiled heating element type, literally buy an old, used stove, because new appliances are crap construction quality. You can get them refurbished, and they’re easy to fix if anything goes wrong–very simple machines.

If you choose gas, you NEED good ventilation, a hood that vents to the outside. At least, you need to open a window while you’re burning the gas.

Outside, against the wall, alone. At least that’s where I sat in high school. So, maybe with the wasps?

So lemme guess, sex outside of marriage should be illegal? Is that where you’re going with this?

IIRC, this is from Dr. Who(?)

I haven’t eaten out since the pandemic. I got used to making all my meals at home, and gosh, the food is better and cheaper.

Convenience has a high price.

I don’t see the end game of continuing to raise prices and lower quality, while not paying us enough to survive, let alone thrive. I guess the stupid, greedy fucks are thinking it will just work out somehow? Maybe Chatbot told them it would all be fine. Fucking Tech Bro AI circlejerk will be the end of us all.
